Effects of Charge
Summary of Key Points
Particles are attracted to substrates (or other particles) via certain types of interactions.
These interactions create stresses between the materials.
These stresses, in turn, create strains that may be large or small, elastic or plastic.
- Only by understanding both the interactions and the mechanical response of the
materials to these interactions can adhesion be understood.
The JKR model is the underlying theory on which most of our present
understanding of adhesion is based.
This presentation will focus on particle adhesion.However, just as the JKR theory
describes adhesion between macroscopic bodies, the concepts presented can be readily
generalized to other situations.
